Jbor has, for the most part, illustrated how one can take a critical stance which does not rely on political animus as its premise. This does not make jbor a Scrubby cultist, but rather, a progressive "pragmatist", a becoming cut, I might add..... I take issue with Jbor's comments about Gore losers crying in their farina a) because it cheapens his otherwise rational position b) because it too overlooks the fact that objections on priciple to Bush are motivated, at least at this address, by far greater concerns, of which the Florida "mugging of democracy" merely a symptom...... The Bushes, regardless of how you feel about Millison's objections, really ARE bad people, to the core (for a brief overview see: http://www.mediafilter.org/MFF/BushFamilyPreys.html or http://www.motherjones.com/news_wire/bushboys.html) ........and I say this as someone who actually considered Poppy a viable candidate back in 1980, and who was anxious to cast a vote for Senator McCain - not because I agree with him on most of his conservative positions, but because he had the fundamental qualities that I prefer to see in my "leader".... Is it possible for Milllison to dampen his enthusiasm for branding others as Bush fanatics, while Jbor takes another peek at what informs those of us who believe that he and his siblings should be rotting in a dank dark cell? love, cfa > So, somebody consistently defends Bush and his policies and > consistently attacks anybody who criticizes either, but that doesn't > make him a "Bush supporter." > > OK, I've got a Bridge to sell you... >
